LOCATION OF REQUEST: 36 Hillside Drive APPLICANT/OWNER: APPROXIMATE AREA PRESENT ZONING PRESENT LAND USE Joshua Tolve 19,383 square feet (0.445 acres) Residential -One (R-1) Single Family Residential ENTER INTO RECORD: (X) CASE FILE & PACKET MATERIALS (X) ZONING ORDINANCE Location Map Site JURISDICTION: All notification and posting requirements have been met; therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case. I. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of (A) a 7.5 -foot (50%) variance from the 15 -foot side yard setback and (B) a 7.5 -foot (50%) variance from the 15 -foot rear yard setback requirement. The purpose of this variance is to allow for the homeowner to construct a detached garage and workshop in the rear corner of their yard. The building is planned to comply with all other zone district requirements for major accessory structures, including size and height. II. CASE ANALYSIS The variance is being requested so the property owner may construct a garage and workshop in the southern corner of the lot. The property is located on Hillside Drive between Twilight Drive and W. 31St Avenue. (Exhibit 1, Aerial) in the Paramount Heights Subdivision. The existing house sits on a 19,383 square foot parcel and was originally constructed in 1954 per the Jefferson County Assessor. The property is zoned Residential -One (R-1), as are all of the surrounding properties in the neighborhood (Exhibit 2, Zoning Map). The surrounding land uses are single-family homes, many in the mid-century modern style. The R-1 zone district provides for high quality, safe, quiet and stable low-density residential neighborhoods, and prohibits activities of any nature which are incompatible with the low-density residential character. In the R-1 zone district, all structures require 15 -foot side and rear setbacks. The proposed garage will therefore encroach upon these required setbacks, prompting the request for a 7.5 - foot variance from the side and rear setbacks (50%). The proposed garage location (Exhibit 3) is at the rear of the property accessed from the existing driveway. The home is unlike many in the neighborhood in that it lacks an existing carport or garage. The elevation drawings provided by the applicant show a large two -car garage with an attached workshop in the back, in the same mid-century modern style of the existing home and its surroundings (Exhibit 4). The site photographs provided (Exhibit 5) highlight the unique architectural character of the property and show the locations of the existing driveway and utility easement. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property, particularly since the existing home does not have a garage or additional storage space. Development Standards The parcel meets minimum standards for the R-1 zone district. The following table compares the required R-1 development standards with the actual and proposed conditions: Administrative Review 2 Case No. WA -17-11 / Tolve R-1 Development Standards: Required Actual Lot Area 12,500 square feet (min) 19,383 square feet Lot Width 100 feet (min) 132 feet Building Coverage 25% (max) 15.4% (with garage) Major Accessory Building: Required Proposed Garage Building size 1,000 square feet (max) 988 square feet Height 15 feet (max) 12.25 feet (at mid -roof, 13.5' atpeak) Side Setback 15 feet (min) 7.5 feet Rear Setback 15 feet (min) 7.5 feet During the 10 -day public notification period, staff received one inquiry from the neighbor to the southeast, but no written objections were received regarding the variance request. III. VARIANCE CRITERIA In order to approve a variance, the Community Development Director must determine that the majority of the "criteria for review" listed in Section 26-115.C.4 of the City Code have been met. The applicant has provided their analysis of the application's compliance with the variance criteria (Exhibit 6). Staff provides the following review and analysis of the variance criteria. Please note that although the applicant has submitted two variance requests, only one analysis of the criteria is presented below because the impacts of the setback variances are interrelated. REQUEST A: Approval of a 7.5 -foot (50%) variance from the 15 -foot side setback requirement for major accessory structures in the R-1 zone. REQUEST B: Approval of a 7.5 -foot (50%) variance from the 15 -foot rear setback requirement for major accessory structures in the R-1 zone. 1. The property in question would not yield a reasonable return in use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is located. If the request were denied, the property would continue to yield a reasonable return in use. The property would continue to function as a single-family residence, regardless of the outcome of the variance request. It would continue to lack covered vehicle parking and additional storage. Staff finds this criterion has not been met. 2. The variance would not alter the essential character of the locality. A variance is not likely to alter the character of the neighborhood. The R-1 zone district allows accessory buildings of the proposed size and height. The proposed height of the garage is similar to the primary building as well as neighboring homes and would be in the same style as the primary home. The applicant has taken great care to design the garage in an attractive mid - Administrative Review Case No. WA -17-11 / Tolve century modern style. Despite the large size, the low profile of the garage is in character with its surroundings, and its reduced height reduces the visual impact despite reduced setbacks. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 3. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property with this application, which would not be possible without the variance. The applicant is proposing a substantial investment in the property, consistent with the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy. Constructing a garage would allow the applicant to store vehicles and create a functional workshop. Building a garage that conforms to the side setback requirements is possible, but may be difficult because of the location of the driveway and the turning radii for standard size vehicles. Building in accordance with both of the required setbacks also would reduce the usable backyard space. An existing power line easement on the north side of the property and the position of the home on the lot would prevent a driveway and garage from being located on the north side of the property. However, due to the size and position of the garage, the applicant could feasibly redesign the garage or move the workshop from the rear of the garage to the east side of the building in order to adhere to the rear setback requirement. The garage portion of the proposed structure represents a small portion of the footprint (460 square feet of the total 988 square feet), so other configurations that accommodate the turning radii but also meet the rear setback should be considered. Even with a new configuration, adhering to the side setback requirement could remain difficult due to the current driveway arrangement. The applicant noted that a 15 -foot side setback would result in a driveway arrangement that is neither feasible nor affordable (Exhibit 6). Staff finds this criterion has been met for Request A and has not been met for Request B. 4. The particular physical surrounding, shape or topographical condition of the specific property involved results in a particular and unique hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were carried out. The property exceeds the area standards for lots in the R-1 zone district and is regular in shape. The power line easement at the north of the property is unusual, but the large size of the backyard provides ample room for accessory buildings. A garage with a different configuration could meet the minimum rear setback. The relationship between the driveway, garage, home, and turning radius, which explains the side setback request, may be considered a unique physical hardship. Staff finds this criterion has been met for Request A and has not been met for Request B. 5. The alleged difficulty or hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. The hardship described above relates the existing location of the garage relative to the existing driveway and home. Because the current owner neither platted the lot, nor constructed the Administrative Review Case No. WA -17-11 /Tolve home or driveway in its current location or orientation, the difficulties have not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. Staff finds no physical hardship related to a rear setback variance. Staff finds this criterion has been met for Request A and does not apply to Request B. 6. The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located, by, among other things, substantially or permanently impairing the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, impairing the adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, substantially increasing the congestion in public streets or increasing the danger of fire or endangering the public safety, or substantially diminishing or impairing property values within the neighborhood. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare and would not be injurious to neighboring property or improvements. It would not hinder or impair the development of the adjacent properties. The adequate supply of air and light would not be compromised as a result of this request. The request would not increase the congestion in the streets, nor would it cause an obstruction to motorists on the adjacent streets, and would not increase the danger of fire. It is unlikely that the request would impair property values in the neighborhood. Staff finds this criterion has been met. 7. The unusual circumstances or conditions necessitating the variance request are present in the neighborhood and are not unique to the property. Many homes in the neighborhood are in the ranch or mid-century modern style, resulting in very wide homes that are located at or near both side setbacks. Most homes were built in the 1950s and some do not have garages or carports, including the subject property. Some homeowners have built garage additions, but many of the mid-century homes, including the subject property, have been preserved in their original states. It is not unreasonable for the applicant to wish to update their property. However, nearly every home in the Paramount Heights subdivision is on a large lot with space for accessory buildings. It is difficult to conclude that the unusual circumstances necessitating the variance request (particularly Request B) are present on the property, much less present in the neighborhood. Staff finds that this criterion has not been met. 8. Granting of the variance would result in a reasonable accommodation of a person with disabilities. Single family homes and their accessory buildings are not required to meet building codes pertaining to the accommodation of persons with disabilities. Administrative Review Case No. WA -17-11 / Tolve Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. 9. The application is in substantial compliance with the applicable standards set forth in the Architectural and Site Design Manual The Architectural and Site Design Manual does not apply to single and two family dwelling units. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable. IV. STAFF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REQUEST A: Having found the application in compliance with the majority of the review criteria, staff recommends APPROVAL of a 7.5 -foot (50%) variance from the required 15 -foot side setback. Staff has found that there are unique circumstances attributed to this request that would warrant approval of a variance. Therefore, staff recommends approval for the following reasons: 1. The variance would not to alter the essential character of the neighborhood. 2. The alleged hardship has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the property. 3. The request would not be detrimental to public welfare. 4. No objections were received regarding the variance request during the public notification period. With the following conditions: 1. The design and architecture of the proposed garage shall be consistent with representations depicted in the application materials, subject to staff review and approval through review of a building permit. REQUEST B: Not having found the application in compliance with the majority of the review criteria, staff recommends DENIAL of a 7.5 -foot (50%) variance from the required 15 -foot rear setback. Staff finds no unique circumstances attributed to this request and warranting approval of a variance. Therefore, staff recommends denial for the following reasons: The garage and workshop could feasibly be rearranged to adhere to the required 15 -foot rear setback.

We feel the proposed structure would complement the open design of the existing home. Materials to be used. The building will be stick framed with white stucco exterior as well as brick to match the existing home. The soffit material will be batu (mahogany) and the roof will match existing (rolled) or dimensional shingle.
